Homework Statement
I need to prove that different insertion orders of the same keys always gives us a different binary tree.
Homework Equations
All obvious BST properties apply:
The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key.
The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node's key.
Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.
There must be no duplicate nodes.
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't exactly know how to formally prove this besides just showing a bunch of examples.
I think this is obvious because there aren't any duplicate keys therefore you will always have a unique layout of the tree.
